I once had to weigh-in at the doctor's office, and the nurse didn't even let me take off my shoes. I'm surprised she let me put down my purse. You can only imagine the trauma of THAT number...
I agree with random, I go for the shower clothes at home. I may start a twice-a-week weighing, for right now it's generally Friday mornings.

can I carry your bags?
(followed closely by, and where do you get your drugs, 'cause clearly they're excellent)
Olive oil, lemon, honey, and fresh herbs. Love to mix and match for marinades.
I weigh myself once a week, so that I don't get too obsessed with the numbers. First thing in the morning, after going to the bathroom, no clothes. I also take my measurements every couple of weeks, because even when I'm not losing pounds it helps to know if I'm getting any smaller.
I also just got back from a week-long vacation that involved drinking every day and eating most meals out. The scale was not happy. It is time for a detox - no drinking or eating out for a couple weeks at least.
I'm in the "weigh myself every day" camp. I see the scale move upwards and I can adjust quickly instead of waiting a whole week and seeing it's gone to sh*t and I haven't been able to stop it. It's also kind of like, I shame myself into "OMG, how did I gain 3 lbs. in one damn day???" It is misleading sometimes because though I try to weigh myself at the same time every day, that is just not always possible and ... sorry if this is gross... but if you haven't 'eliminated' yet, you may weigh more, and for those of us on a high protein diet... well. Yeah.
I recently hit a milestone weight loss of 25 lbs. I have convinced myself that the first 10 was from increasing my water intake to at least 2 litres per day. I weigh myself daily so that, like you, I can monitor my progress, but my official registry of my weight [in a simple word document I created myself] is on Monday mornings. I find that the official weigh-in day is important to my success. I also know that weight loss can vary widely from day to day, but that a weekly weigh-in gives you enough of a look at how you're doing overall. I hope my experiences help, and congratulations and keep up the good work!
Johnathan Gold: Where can I get good Mee Krob?
I would ask Alton Brown if he would come to my house to cook.
Rachel Ray
Is she ever unhappy?
Rachael Ray - Why do my 30 minute meals take longer than your 30 minute meals?
Lets see, this question really has a few different answers. I would like to interview Alton Brown just because I love his show and want to see what he is like in real life. One of the most interesting people to interviews would be Paula Dean since she is such a character. Finally, if I had to pick someone purely on good looks (and probably good food too) I'd have to choose Giada De'Laurentes.
Paula Deen - Are the food/vacation specials you've done as fun as they look and where are you and your family going next?
